The graph shows data on energy use in the United States from the Annual Energy Outlook 2008 since 1980 with assumption until 2030.
It is apparent from the information supplied that having six types of resources comprises three natural resources and the rest is recycled, resulting in an increase in energy consumption from 1980 to 2030. Specifically, petrol and oil remained the most important source of all, rising from around 35 quadrillion units in 1980 to 50 quadrillion units in 2030. The subsequent resources, coal and natural gas came in second and third resources, respectively. Particularly, Coal trailed natural gas in 1980 but sped to overtake natural gas by the end of 2030. Meanwhile, the other sources are generally renewable, with little variation and a total cost of always less than 10 quadrillion units at all phases.
Throughout history, renewable energy sources such as gasoline and oil, natural gas, and coal have consumed approximately 2 to 5 times more than renewable energy sources such as nuclear, solar/wind, and hydropower.
